feed cattle and keep good two years,
and that we will give to the farmers
when we have got out the sugar.
Then also the lime used in the pro-
cess will fertilze the soil, which will
constantly improve. The beet crop
can be raised once in three years on
some land. Germany is now ex-
porting annually 100000 tons of
beet sugar and consuming 100000
tons. The German farmers could
not live without beet culture. l be-
lleve this will be the greatest in
dustry ever started in the United

The yacht race for Americas cup
was won by the American yacht
Volunteer.
The first race took place Sept.
27th, over the inside course Of the
New York Yacht Club, and the
Volunteer won in fine style. The
Thistle was more severely beaten
than was the Genesta. For two
hours after the time announced in
the official programme there was not
wind enough to make a start, and
when it came it was light but strong
enough to enable the yachts to com.
plete the course within the time
limit.
The following shows the official
record of the race:
olunteer-Start l2h. Sam. 584s. !;
finish, 5h. 28m. lois. elapsed time

finish, oh. 45m. 523s.; elapsed
time 5h. l2m. 46as. correct time

The second race took place Sept.
30th, and was twenty miles straight
out to sea and return. This was
declared to be as straight a race as
was ever sailed in any waters. The
course was north and northeast for
twenty miles to windward and return
before the wind. The weathering
qualities Of the yacht Volunteer
were seen at once. The Volunteer
outpointed the cutter by nearly two
points, and won the race by the
mastery manner she went to wind
ward.
Careful estimates of the time
each boat took to go in stays was
made, following is the time in Sec
onds.
Volunteer %, %, 22, 25, 20.
Thistle 20, %, %, 81, %.
The wind was blowing 20 miles an
hour during nearly the entire race.
Both yachts rounded the outer
mark in, Volunteer, 2h, 26m, 40s.
The Volunteer had the lead about
% miles when the Thistle rounded,
and that distance was not dimin-
ished. The Volunteer crossed the
home line lin, 4s3s ahead. The
following is the time of both vessels:
